As the year draws to a close and we present the last issue of 2025, we turn our focus to our theme of supporting patients and the profession—the reason we are here for you all year long. I hope you enjoy how this theme plays out in our feature articles, “Early Patient Encounters: Initial Impressions Help Shape Lives,” “Beyond the Device: Empowering Lives Through Holistic O&P Support,” and finally, “Black and Blue: Dark Humor in Clinical Practice,” which seeks to explore how clinicians cope with some of the challenges of their day-to-day interactions.
On behalf of the entire staff, I want to personally thank you for your readership this year and for joining us every month as we endeavor to provide you with the valuable O&P content you expect from The O&P EDGE. May you find peace and joy this season.
Andrea Spridgen
